Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and associated factors in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS This five-year retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed data from 241 patients who underwent urgent and primary PCI. Outcome measures included in-hospital mortality, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), postprocedural complications, and survival rates. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to assess predictors of in-hospital mortality. Kaplan-Meier analysis and the log-rank test were used to assess the overall survival rates and median survival time and to compare the survival probability curves for independent predictors. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were presented. RESULTS One hundred forty-two patients underwent elective PCI with drug-eluting stent implantation (75.1%) as the reperfusion method. The in-hospital mortality and non-fatal MACCE rates were 3.7% and 24.1%, respectively. The predictors of in-hospital mortality were female sex (AHR = 8.39, 95% CI: 1.20-58.68, p = 0.03), preprocedural obesity (AHR = 6.54, 95% CI: 1.10-40.60, p = 0.04), previous myocardial infarction (AHR = 9.68, 95% CI: 1.66-56.31, p = 0.01), chronic heart failure (AHR = 9.21, 95% CI: 1.38-61.78, p = 0.02), and a previous history of stroke (AHR = 18.99, 95% CI: 1.59-227.58, p = 0.02). Notably, this study reported a high one-year survival rate. CONCLUSION Urgent and primary PCIs are critical interventions for patients with MI in Ethiopia, showing promising outcomes such as low in-hospital mortality and a high one-year survival rate. These findings underscore the importance of optimising access to PCI and related treatments to improve patient outcomes.

Acute coronary syndrome in young (≤45 years) patients: a multi-centre observational study. Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2024; 86:3303-3309. [PMID: 38846856 PMCID: PMC11152806 DOI: 10.1097/ms9.0000000000002125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in young individuals (≤45 years) is increasingly recognized as a significant health concern, yet research in this demographic remains limited, particularly within the Palestinian context. This study aims to bridge this gap by comprehensively investigating the clinical characteristics, age-specific profiles, gender disparities, treatment modalities, and angiographic patterns of ACS in young patients compared to their older counterparts. Materials and methods A multi-centre observational study was conducted, enroling 468 participants aged 18-55 diagnosed with ACS and admitted to three prominent Palestinian hospitals. Data were collected from medical records, and statistical analysis was performed to assess demographic characteristics, clinical presentations, risk factors, treatment strategies, and outcomes. Results The majority of participants were male (87%), with a higher proportion in the older age group (>45 years). Clinical presentations varied, with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) being the most common diagnosis (48%). Risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, and diabetes were prevalent, with notable gender and age-specific differences. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was the predominant treatment strategy (83%), with consistent medication use across age groups. Conclusion ACS in young patients poses a significant public health challenge in Palestine, necessitating tailored preventive strategies and comprehensive management approaches. Understanding the unique demographic and clinical characteristics of young ACS patients is crucial for informing targeted interventions and policies aimed at reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease in this population. These findings contribute valuable insights to the existing literature and underscore the importance of further research in this area to improve outcomes and mitigate the impact of ACS in young individuals globally.

Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the pharmaco-invasive approach in the management of ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) played a vital role in saving many lives. A retrospective observational study was conducted wherein 134 patients presenting with STEMI between (Dec 2019-Mar 2022) were thrombolysed with either streptokinase or tenecteplase in a centre where primary PCI was not available. There was no significant difference in the outcomes and their predictors between the SK and TNK groups. A prospective study with a larger sample size in the Indian population will be able to provide more substantial and promising results for further interventions.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock continues to have high morbidity and mortality, despite advances in the field. Temporary mechanical circulatory support (TMCS) devices, if instituted in a timely fashion, can help stabilize critically ill patients with cardiogenic shock from various aetiologies and cardiac arrest, and provide time for organ recovery or till durable support or transplantation can be achieved. Currently, several options for TMCS devices exist. In this review, we discuss indications, contraindications, characteristics of the various available devices, and important issues pertaining to their management.

Abstract
Background and Aims The prevalence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has been rising in the younger population worldwide. To fully comprehend the effects of the condition, it is crucial to examine the evolving characteristics and treatment options. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the characteristics and treatment analysis for young ACS patients in a tertiary care setting. Methods This cross-sectional, retrospective, single-center study included a random sample of patients who had been hospitalized for ACS over the period of a year. We collected and analyzed data on risk factors, diagnoses, angiographic patterns, and potential treatments. Results The study involved 198 young ACS patients in total. The majority of patients (57%) had no risk factors, and the majority of them (44%) had ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) as their diagnosis. The most common type (48%) was single-vessel disease (SVD). Statins and antiplatelet medications made up the majority of the patients' nonsurgical treatments (88% and 87%, respectively). A statistically significant difference exists between young and older ACS patients with gender (p < 0.01). However, it is not clinically relevant. Conclusion Men were the majority of young ACS patients, and STEMI, SVD were more prevalent. The majority of young ACS patients had no significant risk factors. To determine the risk factors of young ACS patients, a more thorough case-control study is critically needed.

Abstract
Background Various Indian registries have documented a delay of more than five hours for acute coronary syndrome patients from onset of symptoms to reaching thrombolysis-enabled centres. We conducted this study to evaluate the factors responsible for pre-hospital delay in acute coronary syndrome patients. Methods This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in consecutive acute coronary syndrome patients who reported to the tertiary care medical centre in North India. A standardized tool was used to record the demographic data, socioeconomic status and clinical presentation of patients. All factors which led to pre-hospital delay were noted and the appropriate statistical tests were used for analysis. Results A total of 130 patients (males=93, females=37) were included in the study. The median time at which the acute coronary syndrome patients presented to the thrombolysis and percutaneous coronary intervention enabled centre was 490 minutes (range: 20 - 810 minutes) and 710 minutes (range: 45 - 940 minutes) respectively. The various factors responsible for prehospital delay were rural residence (p-value <0.0001), visit to local dispensary (p-value=0.0023), delay in getting transport (p-value=0.03) and misinterpretation of cardiac symptoms (p-value=0.0004). A significant but weak negative correlation was found between per capita income, decision making time and time taken to receive thrombolytic therapy. Out of a total of 83 ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients, only 46 (51.80%) were thrombolysed. Though 69/83 (83.13%) ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients reached thrombolysis enabled centre directly, only nine (10.84%) were thrombolysed at first medical contact; the rest were transferred to the percutaneous coronary intervention-enabled centre without any prior information. Conclusion Our study concludes that besides socioeconomic and demographic variables, lack of public awareness, well established public transport & health insurance system lead to significant pre-hospital delays and increase the time to revascularization. Besides, judgemental error on the part of medical practitioners in the peripheries also significantly delays thrombolysis in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients.
